<p style="font-weight: 400;">Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who has made a career post-football by bemoaning what he sees as systemic racism in America, accused his adoptive-white parents of racism, prompting MMA fighter and Special Forces vet Tim Kennedy to fire a withering response.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Interviewed on &#8220;CBS Mornings” regarding his new autobiographical graphic novel “Change the Game,” Kaepernick stated, “Growing up I was a — I think, still am a pretty introverted person. &#8230; I know my parents loved me but there were still very problematic things that I went through. I think it was important to show that, no, this can happen in your own home and how we move forward collectively while addressing the racism that is being perpetuated.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In the graphic novel, Kaepernick writes that he wanted cornrows like his idol, Allen Iverson of the Philadelphia 76ers, prompting his white adoptive mother to ask,“He’s getting what rolls?”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Oh, your hair’s not professional,” Kaepernick told Adriana Diaz of “CBS Mornings.” “Oh, you look like a little thug.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Your mom said that to you?” Diaz asked, shocked.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Yeah. And those become spaces where it’s like, okay, how do I navigate this situation now,” Kaepernick replied. “But it also has informed why I have my hair long today.”</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Kennedy took sharp aim at Kaepernick on Twitter, responding, “I bleached my hair when I was in high school and my dad told me I look like an idiot. He told me that nobody would hire me. He told me that colleges would laugh at me during interviews. I guess he was just perpetuating racism and didn’t want the best for me.”</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Kennedy has never been shy about butting heads publicly with those he opposes; in 2017, after Deadspin<em> </em>editor Tim Marchman blustered that he would fight any Ted Cruz supporter, <a href="https://www.barstoolsports.com/blog/709305/if-its-a-fight-in-the-ufc-octagon-tim-marchman-wants-its-a-fight-in-the-ufc-octagon-hes-gonna-get">tweeting</a>, “Not one Ted Cruz-supporting cuck/Twitter user is willing to face me in the UFC octagon,” he was challenged by Kennedy, who <a href="https://twitter.com/TimKennedyMMA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">was also</a> a UFC fighter, Ranger, sniper, and Special Forces Operator. Kennedy <a href="https://twitter.com/TimKennedyMMA/status/824369871576252427?lang=en">replied</a>, “I&#8217;m your huckleberry. I also take note that you are a pathetic cyber bully. My email is tim@rangerup.com I&#8217;m available at your leisure.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Kennedy then upped the ante, tweeting:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">After an email with <a href="https://twitter.com/timmarchman">@timmarchman</a> I offered the (sic) these fight options:<br />
1. 1 arm tied behind my back.<br />
2. I&#8217;m in a sumo suit.<br />
3. 10-1 punch off.</p>
